Château L'Hospitalet  

The surroundings were peaceful and the garden was very well kept with lovely colourful flowerings and trees. We were upgraded to a deluxe room for free just after we booked the hotel but the deluxe room was nothing special, it looked like the classic room. We took a walk around the grounds and up on top of a nearby hill there was a spectacular panoramic view of the sea and vineyards. The food and desert at the hotel were top class but the portions were small.

I didn't like that you had to reserve your dinner. It made my boyfriend and I feel pressurised to dine there. Breakfast was €16.00 per person The swimming pool and sun beds around it were dirty with bits of twigs from the trees above with bird droppings and the pool wasn't heated. We didn't feel very welcome and some more interactive would have been nicer. The toilet roll holder was broken in our bathroom. We left a sign out for our room to be cleaned while were out for the whole day at Narbonne Plage but house keeping never came. When we advised reception they offered to move us to a new room but we didn't want the hassle.You would definitely need a car to stay there as taxis are very expensive. We had to pay €50 to get to the beach one day which was a very stressful amount of money to pay. I found the art in the hotel alright but the twisted metal pieces of so called art in the surroundings in the vine yards were an eye sore and looked out of place.

Beautiful setting, superb food and service and excellent wine tasting opportunity

Bathroom was 'tired' with mildew on some of the tiles. Although the restaurant was truly excellent, (we had our supper there) and quite expensive, we felt that the price of breakfast was far too high and chose not to partake.

I liked the exterior, lighting, well preserved buildings.

Rooms were dirty, equipped with cheap equipment. Not worth the reviews as a superb place. No, its rather a ok for a overnight, but nothing more. Has no ventilation, no heating, only cooler. So if you want your rooms warm - wont be possible. If you want not to be in a 'sauna' after your shower - wont be possible either. No ventilation whatsoever. Double bed was something like 140cm in width. Fail.

The location was great, very nice to be in the vineyards and centrally located. The idea of having a wine tasting on site is also nice.

The rooms are too small and on top of each other. We couldn't close the shutters as they were permanently bolted. Feels like we got the cheapest smallest room due to booking it on the internet ! No bin in the room, no change of towels, rationed shampoo etc, all small things that make the stay nicer. The breakfast was a disaster - several people waiting for the buffet to be replenished, no coffee, no bread, very basic spread for a breakfast of 16 € ! The staff were not friendly and not service oriented. Although we loved the location, we won't stay there again.

The surrounding is so calm and beautiful.

The check in time is only at 4h pm. So late.

Reception were very helpful

Your in-room wines were not available the restraunt was a disaster

The wine tasting that was given as part of the trip was really a nice touch and the excellent young lady (Arabella) was 1st class in making it special. As a result we decided to buy all our wine for the following week for a stay in a Gite in the Pyrenees. We hope you have a good harvest in 2011.

This hotel is perfect for a short stay and to visit some cities in the surrounding, but totally not suitable for a beach holiday or relaxing at the hotel. The hotel looks very neat and also the restaurant is very good. It’s clean, beautiful location, but for not more than 2 nights is our opinion.

As mentioned, no relaxing possibilities such as a balcony (there are rooms that have one, our room was located at the front, on the ground floor)

This location was a little difficult to find but very much well worth the effort. What a very pleasant surprise. We were warmly greeted and shown two very nice rooms with views of the vineyard or courtyard. We were given a complementary wine tasting and tour. The wine was outstanding. Dinner was lovely out on the courtyard. We ran throughout the vineyard in the morning and then had a coffee on the patio. We can only say that it was one of the highlights of our holidays. A truly a great experience on our adventure In the south of France. Extremely good value for money.

Lovely surroudings! Lovely restaurant! Frendly stuff.

Small room.

Really nice location! A chateau onto a hill near to Narbonne beach! Good breakfast, big rooms and a nice and good restaurant!

The stunning setting, actual building, buzzy restaurant, artisan shops and vineyard attached.

The hotel did not live up to its billing or pricing as it is positioned as premium yet we had to queue up to pay our bill after dinner, were given plastic glasses in our bedroom, and a very thin sofa bed for the kids to sleep on which was not comfortable at all, and the breakfast was poor with cold, stewed coffee and no hot food choices. The meal in the restaurant was passable but bland - not something that we are accustomed to in France, and we come regularly to the area as we own a house nearby. The hotel's setting and buildings were delightful though and the wine was excellent.

the local crafts, the vineyard, and the ambience of the hotel and its environment.
